Hiya guys I’ve germinated my seeds they cracked and taproot are showing so I transferred them to plastic cups and have them in my grow room inder 18h light 6 hours dark and have been for just under 48hr just wondering when I should expect them to sprout up out of the soil thanx in advance
 
So many factors just to get a bean up and strong, I never germ outside of mix but sometimes I have to point a taproot down or add a little dirt to the seedling so it can mature more as it becomes ready to sprout. I do keep a spray bottle of H2O Ph 5.5 to mist them as they emerge from the mix/media. A seed only has a small amount of energy and it is such a waste to crack a seed in water just to see a taproot. Have faith in them, point the sharpest part of the seed down, then cover and mist until they come up Killa. Be patient and get a water bottle.
 
That you for the reply I have been and continue to mist with ph 5.5-5.7 and have them in cup’s with bags over for humidity
 
I wouldn't worry about bags just mist the top about 4 or 6 times a day and just wait. No patience kills more plants than anything. Look for helmet Head as they come up, the mist will soften the shell and ease any damage that may be caused. It happens and it may.

If you have bags over them then stop misting. They don’t need to be drenched, they just need to be in moist soil, coco, peat, or anything else soft. You also don’t need lights on at all until they sprout. The most important things needed for a seed to sprout is moisture and heat. You’ll want those cups to be 70°-75° for them to sprout well.
